The high，bright notes of a violin are followed by the low，rich sound of a cello. Then a drum starts thumping. But this is no ordinary orchestra. The violin is made from a salad bowl and pieces of wood. Its strings are held in place with a fork. A saxophone is made from a metal pipe and coins.The group is called the Recycled Orchestra. Its made up of 20 teens from the South American country of Paraguay. They live in Cateura ，a small，poor village just outside Paraguays capital，Asuncin.The teens play famous pieces of classical music by Mozart and Beethoven. But they also play rock music by the Beatles and other groups. Judging by the sound，youd never know their instruments are made from items tossed into the trash.“The world sends us garbage. We send back music，”says Favio Chvez. He is the music teacher who founded the Recycled Orchestra.For most of the 2,500 families in Cateura，the landfill is their livelihood. Many residents work as trash pickers. They search for scraps they can sell as recyclable materials. Nearly half the children in the area dont finish school because their parents need them to work.To keep the kids out of trouble，Chvez started a music school six years ago. But there were more kids than instruments，and there was no money to buy new instruments.A resourceful trash picker named Nicols Gmez came to the rescue. A former carpenter，Gmez made a violin from scraps of debris.“I never imagined myself building an instrument like this，”he says. Soon，a whole orchestra was formed from recycled materials.The young musicians have been gaining attention outside Paraguay. Theyve given concerts in Brazil，Colombia，and Panama. They plan to perform in the US.later this year，at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix，Arizona.Thirteen year old Ada Rios plays the violin in the Recycled Orchestra.“When I listen to the sound of the violin，I feel butterflies in my stomach，”she says. “Its a feeling that I dont know how to explain.”21It is implied in the first paragraph that_.A. the orchestra is well known in the worldBall the instruments are made from trash C. the concert is unusual for the strange instruments Dthe music of the concert is in a mess22What Chvez says in Para.4 suggests that he_.Aloves music very muchBis angry at too much garbageCconsiders the world to be unfairDis proud of his students23Why did Chvez start a music school?ATo help the children grow up healthily.BTo prevent the children picking trash.CTo make children bee musicians.DTo make a living for his own family.24What is the main idea of the passage?A. An orchestra performs beautiful music for teens.BA teenage orchestra makes music from recycled garbage. C. Teen musicians make music instruments out of trash. DTeens hope for a brighter future through music.BWele to the Electronic Village to explore new ways of language teaching and learning.Electronic Village Program (Thursday, June 18, xx)Nearpod 9：00 am to 10：00 am Room 501Nearpod is a software program that creates a rich context (语境 ) for students to learn vocabulary.The presenter will show how to use it.TEO 2：00 pm to 3：00 pm Room 502Our students e from different backgrounds but have the same desire to learn online.The presenter will use examples from his first online class to explain how any teacher can begin teaching online with TEO.Kahoot 10：30 am to 11：30 am Room 601Kahoot software can be used to create grammar tests which can be graded on a network.It can provide students with instant feedback (反馈), including reports about their strengths and weaknesses.Prezi 3：30 pm to 4：20 pm Room 602Uses of Prezi in listening and speaking courses draw students attention to speaking more fluently.The presenter will show how students can use Prezi to confidently present on a variety of topics, including introducing family, friends, and hobbies.25Nearpod can be used to _.Aoffer grammar tests Bteach listening onlineChelp vocabulary learning Dgain fluency in speaking26If you want to improve your speaking skills, you can go to _.ARoom 501BRoom 502CRoom 601 DRoom 60227Which of the following can assess your grammar learning?ANearpod. BKahoot.CTEO. DPrezi.CI travel a lot，and I find out different “styles”(风格)of directions every time I ask“How can I get to the post office？”Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑的) in Japan because most streets there dont have names; in Japan，people use landmarks(地标) in their directions instead of street names.For example，the Japanese will say to travelers，“Go straight down to the corner.Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest，there are not usually many landmarks.There are no mountains，so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles.Instead of landmarks，people will tell you directions and distances.In Kansas or Iowa，for example，people will say，“Go north two miles.Turn east，and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles，California，have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time，not miles.“How far away is the post office？”you ask.“Oh，”they answer，“its about five minutes from here.”You say，“Yes，but how many miles away is it？” They dont know.Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes.What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say.“Sorry，I have no idea.”But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers“I dont know.”People in Yucatan believe that “I dont know” is impolite.They usually give an answer，often a wrong one.A tourist can get very，very lost in Yucatan!28When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place，they usually_.Adescribe the place carefullyBshow him a map of the placeCtell him the names of the streetsDrefer to recognizable buildings and places29What is the place where people measure distance in time?ANew York.B. Iowa. CKansas. DLos Angeles. 30People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer_.Ain order to save time B so as to be polite C. as a test Dfor fun31What can we infer from the text?A. Its important for travelers to understand cultural differences.BIts useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.CPeople have similar understandings of politeness.DNew Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.DCheating is nothing new. But today，educators and administrators are finding that instances of academic dishonesty on the part of students have bee more frequent and are less likely to be punished than in the past. Cheating appears to have gained acceptance among good and poor students alike.Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame the trend on a general loosening of moral values among todays youth. Others have attributed increased cheating to the fact that todays youth are far more pragmatic(实用主义的) than their more idealistic predecessors(前辈)While in the late sixties and early seventies，students were filled with visions about changing the world，todays students feel great pressure to conform(随大流) and succeed. In interviews with students at high schools and colleges around the country，both young men and women said that cheating had bee easy. Some suggested they did it out of spite for teachers they did not respect; others looked at it as a game. Only if they were caught，some said，would they feel guilty. “People are petitive.” said a second year college student named Anna，from Chicago. Theres an underlying fear. If you dont do well，your life is going to be ruined. The pressure is not only from parents and friends but from yourself. To achieve. To succeed. Its almost as though we have to outdo other people to achieve our own goals.Edward Wynne，editor of a magazine blames the rise in academic dishonesty on the schools. He claims that administrators and teachers have been too hesitant to take action. Dwight Huber，chairman of the English department at Amarillo sees the matter differently，blaming the rise in cheating on the way students are evaluated.“I would cheat if I felt I was being cheated，” Mr. Huber said. He feels that as long as teachers give short answer tests rather than essay questions and rate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can bine information，students will try to beat the system. “The concept of cheating is based on the false assumption that the system is reasonable and there is something wrong with the individual whos doing it，” he said，“Thats too easy an answer. Weve got to start looking at the system.”32Educators are finding that students who cheat _.Aare more likely to be punished than beforeBhave poorer academic records than beforeCcan be academically weak or strongDuse the information in later years33According to the passage，youth cheat because of_.Athe eagerness to succeedBthe easiness to cheatCthe fear of petitionDthe impossibility to be punished34What does the underlined part “the system” refer to?AThe education system.BThe school system.CThe system by which schools punish cheating.DThe system by which students are evaluated.35Which of the followings would Dwight Huber probably agree with?AThe educational system is sound and students must follow every rule.BParents alone must take responsibility for the rise in student cheating.CThere should be some changes in the evaluation system.DStudents who cheat should be expelled from school.第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Mountain biking is a great way to explore the outdoors, stay in shape，or just have fun._36_Even though its dangerous，if you ride with caution，it can be enjoyed by the entire family.Mountain biking can best be characterized into three different stylesdownhill，free riding，and cross country.
